Power of Attorney in De Queen, Arkansas

In De Queen, Arkansas, power of attorney is an arrangement in which one person (the principal) gives another (the attorney-in-fact) the ability to act on the principal's behalf in particular situations, and under particular conditions. Power of attorney might be granted for any number of reasons, but it is most commonly set up to allow the attorney-in-fact to make financial and medical decisions on the principal's behalf in the event that the principal becomes incapacitated.

The principal in a power-of-attorney arrangement is the one who determines the scope of the power that the attorney will be able to wield, and the circumstances under which they can wield it. Generally, you can grant the attorney-in-fact as much or as little decision-making power as you'd like. In every case, however, you should only enter a power-of-attorney arrangement with somebody you trust. The nature of the power you should grant depends heavily on the context, and what your wishes are.

One very frequent reason for granting power of attorney is that the grantor believes that they might become incapacitated, due to age or illness, in the relatively near future, and they want to make sure that their preferences relating to care at the end of their life are followed. Of course, if nobody knows what that person's preferences are, and the patient is unable to express them, family members and doctors will simply have to guess. Obviously, there's a good chance that they could get it wrong. Thus, you should make your desires well-known to those who will be in a position to implement it, and grant, in writing, a person you trust (such as a spouse, life partner, sibling, or adult child) the power to carry out your wishes, if necessary.

Sometimes, you can find pre-printed forms in De Queen, Arkansas allowing you to easily draft a power of attorney document. In some cases, this may be all you need. These forms already have the basics of such an agreement committed to writing. All you and the other party have to do is fill in the blanks, per the instructions, and possibly have the forms notarized.

Types of Power of Attorney Arrangements in De Queen, Arkansas

There are 3 main arrangements that power of attorney can involve in De Queen, Arkansas. They are:

1. Limited power of attorney - this is probably the most limited type of power of attorney. It lets someone act on your behalf in a single instance. It is used most commonly in large sales transactions involving a written contract. If the closing of the deal is set to take place far away from where one of the parties is located, they can give limited power of attorney to someone who is closer. All you have to do is give that person the authority to act on your behalf in this one transaction. This authority automatically expires once the deal is finished.

2. Durable power of attorney - this gives the attorney in fact the power to make decisions on a general area of the principal's affairs (for example, the power to access the principal's assets to pay the principal's debts, or the power to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the principal). Unlike limited power of attorney, durable power of attorney does not expire unless the principal revokes it. This is useful, because it authorizes the attorney-in-fact to make important decisions for the principal if the principal becomes incapacitated.

3. Springing power of attorney - this is a form of power of attorney which doesn't really take effect until the occurrence of some mentioned event. This event can be anything, but it is often the principal becoming disabled. You should be aware, though, that it is not always clear what "disabled" means in such an agreement, which can result in disagreements, resulting in litigation.

02/05/2016I hired Alan to put together a divorce decree amendment related to finalizing and ending spousal support. Alan did a great job, and stayed within the original estimated time for the services rendered. The judge called for a video conference, which was unexpected, and Alan's rate to cover the additional cost related to this was very reasonable.
Overall, I was very pleased with Alan's services.

Although not in this particular segment of the "legal world" I have had extensive interaction with Attorneys and found Mr. R. to be among the best, if not the best. He, very quickly, identified the type of laymen's verbiage needed for me to gain comprehension of the issue discussed then patiently stayed with the approach until it was evident I had fully grasped the knowledge needed to make decisions on how to progress with the issue we discussed. Thank You Mr. R.!!!

He continually gives me updates about what he's working on, the status of the work, next steps, and time spent so far and what to expect next so there are no suprises.

03/18/2007We have already had this Stock Purchase Agreement written up by two previous lawyers. Both did not listen to our unique circumstances and took 9 to 12 months to write documents that did not reflect our specific intentions. Mr. C. not only understood our needs, but his usual response time was less that 24 hours. We handled most of the correspondence by e-mail which saved his time and our money. He had many suggestions which improved the document and looked out for all parties involved. Due to his thoroughness, we took a few extra weeks to review his ideas with the buyer and seller and we still received a final document from Mr. C. in less than two months. I would definitely recommend Julian C. as an attorney. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and extremely timely.

I checked his resume and researched him online, and was frankly blown away by his qualifications. He didn't disappoint me. By the end of the next day, he had written a contract exactly to the specifications i needed.
To get such great work from such a nice, honest guy on such a deadline was a godsend. I'll definitely be working with him in the future. So thanks Legalmatch...and thanks Julian.
